Do you believe you are intelligent?
    #2690262 - 05/17/04 04:59 AM (19 years, 8 months ago)

It's a very straightforward question. In general, do you believe you are intelligent? We need not go into details nor branch off into ''book smarts'' or ''street smarts'' etc.
In general, do you believe you are intelligent?

I think most of us have the same capacity for learning and intelligence, its just a matter of applying it.

I don't think of myself as intelligent....i can just do things. The concept that everyone else can't do what i can do is still one i can't get a good grasp on.

It's made people tell em i'm arrogant....just because i think they should be able to do what i can.
Sometimes i just don't get it.

Thats an area of huge debate in psychology. Some people believe that one's ability to learn is genetic. Some think it's a matter of applying yourself. I think it's a mixture of the two and some environmental factors as well.

Interesting!

Intelligence has lots of meanings, both within www.dictionary.com and the real world :grin:
If intelligence means IQ the poll can only be tainted because fact of the matter is that the majority of people who are online are in the above average group.

IQ should mean I Question instead of I Qualify as its used to pour you into a mould rather then look for what your qualities are.

For me intelligence means the degree to which you integrate serious thinking and deliberate learning into your lifestyle: how often and to what degree you use your brain and logic to get the job done.
Intelligence in my book stands apart from the success you've got with using your brain: thats a question of being smart/wise.

You can use your brain alot but be "dumb", yet intelligent.
You can be smart or wise but unintelligent because you slack it.
Only those who are very smart/wise AND use those skills a lot can ever be called a genius.

We need all kinds.
Its a beautiful sunny day over here right now and I find myself cracking the concepts of mind behind the PC.
Yup, thats intelligent, but is it smart?

I'm going offline, call a buddy & hang, swapping my intelligence for smarts and then snuffing both out with a few brewski's :grin:

I think most of us here probally are intelligent....

Sure most drug users are idiots....but those that do a drug like mushrooms are obviously looking for something more than an escape like a narcotic drug....simply looking for that "something more" shows above average intelligence because most people dont even care/bother to look for anything "more"....

Well i have to say that statment is based on the drug users i see in my city....most of which are tweekers, and crack heads, and imo anyone doing those drugs is an idiot...

Those that smoke pot and do party drugs arnt necessarilly idiots, but many of them are....or seem that way to me i should say...

It hard for me to type out what im thinking....I dont want to seem hypocritical because i smoke pot everyday....but i feel like an idiot for smoking pot everyday...because i know it causes problems in my life, mainly robbing my sucess in collage...

I guess after writing this i would change my answer and to i am not intellegent, because i dont use drugs, i abuse them....I would probally restate my original statement to be "Most drug abusers are idiots"

I think there are many intelligent people on this board for the most part. :thumbup:

Some have called me intelligent and some have called me an idiot. Since most of those who have called me an idiot are idiots themselves, I'm more inclined to believe those who say I'm intelligent.

There are many, many bright people on these forums, and I think that overall, the IQ here would average higher than what is considered 'normal' or 'average' in the general population. Also, I think the "geek" factor (meant in a good way! :laugh:) comes into play here, since most here are well acquainted with computers and the internet

the average score among men who take IQ tests on the computer is about 121. Remember that TV show that took all the IQ scores of all men and women, also, tickle's average IQ is around 121.

possibly. Remember that most of the sites on the internet are geared toward making you feel smarter, so you can buy the 30 dollar report saying just how much potential you have and how your brain works.

Yeah, I took that tickle iq test back in the fall sometime and i got like 130 something. Then a little while later this kid i know thats not very bright took it and got 120. So at this point I pretty much came to the conclusion that this could not be right.

This is true to some extent, but genetic makeup is a large and influential factor on how intelligent you are. Both environment and genes determine intelligence of a person
